Nashville Predators @ Colorado Avalanche Preview: Climbing Mountains
The Predators are desperate for a win as they head into Colorado on Tuesday night.
No, it isn’t a must win. Must wins won’t come for the Predators until at least after Christmas. But the Predators don’t want to find themselves digging out of too deep a hole when 2017 comes around.
Some have made reference to the Anaheim Ducks and Pittsburgh Penguins of last year, hoping that the Preds early struggles are not a harbinger of a bad season. That’s fine, but it’s best to remember that A) the run that the Anaheim Ducks made in the 2nd half of last year is nearly unheard of and B) the Predators do not have Sidney Crosby.
So, how about the Predators just go ahead and start winning some games now, huh?
